Anyone remember the Spaghetti Western? That was the nickname for the popular Western movies of the '60s and '70s financed by Italian companies. One of the most famous was the film starring Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, and Lee Van Cleef called “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.” Interestingly enough, it appears that “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” will join the ranks of other movie classics like The Godfather,From Russia with Love, and Scarface that are being converted into video games. British developer Bits Studios has recently acquired the rights to the “The Man With No Name” trilogy of films that included “A Fistful of Dollars,” “For a Few Dollars More,” and “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.” No word at this stage on whether Clint Eastwood will be reprising his role for the upcoming game, although Bits Studios has expressed an interest. The game is expected to be released sometime in 2006, and will be available for the PC, PS2, PSP, and Xbox. Thanks to IGN for the heads-up.

Is there any appeal(9:04pm EST Tue Sep 13 2005)to these game? Honestly, a first person shooters based on the Godfather, or Scarface, please, hold me back. Maybe a western themed FPS would be novel, it hasn't been done before, but ones based on the mob isn't that appealing, let along based on some 20+ year old movies.

I can't wait for the “Dances with Wolves” game or “The Sound of Music”. - by Topher

-_-(10:00pm EST Tue Sep 13 2005)Lets not loose hope. Remember Chronicals of Riddick game for PC and Xbox, probably the best game based on a movie (and at that the movie wasn't even too great). So there is hope, and as of now Scarface isn't looking so bad. - by an expert

o_0(10:03pm EST Tue Sep 13 2005)Lets face it Games turned Movies is a much better way to go. DOOM (doommovie.com) is releasing October 21st, Halo in 2006, Max Payne has been anounced, what's to follow, Half-Life maybe? It was game of the year mainly for it's story telling. - by an expert
